The goal of $803,500 has been aUocated as follows: For Local, Columbus needs, $221,282
The- strength of our com¬ munity lies in the services and institutions which we provide for the security, growth, enrichment and de¬ velopment of our people. Es¬ sential for a healthy com¬ munity are the services which make it Viable, dyna¬ mic and growing.
